Before your vehicle is picked up, perform a complete inspection of your car (usually done with the carrier before the vehicle is loaded). Make sure the driver makes a note of any cosmetic damages the car may have. This includes scratches, dents and dings. You can photograph your car from many angles and put a date to them, in order to have proof of the state your vehicle was in prior to loading your vehicle onto the carrier. This serves as a record of your vehicles’ condition at the time of handing it over to the transporter. Note the odometer reading at the time of handing over the car. Although the car will be driven a little to load and unload it, there should be no major changes in the amount of fuel in the car.
A reliable, and fully licensed carrier will and all of your last minute questions about the transporting process. Make sure he has a proper record of your contact details. Also, confirm the terms of the contract at this stage. It would be in your best interest to get the phone number of the carrier, as it would give you the opportunity to track your vehicles’ progress at any time through the duration of your move.
